Threatened and Endangered Species

Nebraska, with a population of almost 1.8 million people, boasts a diverse ecological mix of urban and suburban settings in forested and grassland environment. Accordingly, WS biologists work to reduce public health and safety risks and property damage associated with wildlife conflicts. WS reduces damage to livestock by predators through the Integrated Wildlife Damage Management Approach, assists industries with various wildlife conflicts, and manages problems caused by overabundant urban wildlife such as raccoons and skunks.
